Filipino Readers’ Choice Awards 2015 Finalists

We thought last year was record breaking, but this year just shattered our expectations and left us speechless. So yes, if you checked our post last year, we did hit 100,000 votes and exceeded that number, actually. :D What an amazing turn out! For this year we got an astounding 101, 358 votes (yes, we triple checked!) when the voting period came to a close and it took us a while to verify because of the sheer number we had to go through.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who nominated, voted, told their friends, classmates, random strangers, harnessed the power of social media or just passed the information by word of mouth to go and vote for their favorite books and authors. The committee is beyond words because of this year’s voting turn out and from our hearts, we sincerely thank you all for the support!

We made you wait long enough so finally, here are the finalists for this year’s Filipino Readers’ Choice Awards!

Congratulations to all the finalists! Publishers, expect letters requesting for evaluation copies to land in your inboxes soon. We will now enter the next stage and these books will now be judged by a panel composed of selected book bloggers and readers which will be briefed soon, and will then be up for deliberation to decide which book is deserving of the Filipino Readers’ Choice Awards title for this year.

The winners will be announced at the Filipino ReaderCon this November, more information about the event will be posted soon. See you at the awarding ceremony!
